Default Z06 Badges?

Hello all, my Z06 wheels are going on today and now I need the Z06 badges. Can anybody advise me on where I can buy the most authentic looking badges? Or can I buy the originals from GM? Also can anybody advise me as to the proper body placement for these badges?
Thanks

You must mean the LS1 Z06 look-a-like badges - right? Z06 badges should only be used on a Z06.

Thanks, already have them on order!

Its your car and you can do what you want but for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would want a Z06 badge on a non-Z06 Vette.

Even if it has a transplant LS-6 and all the other Z06 items it still ain't a Z06.

Front screens= ok
functional rear brake ducts= ok
Z06 wheels= ok
Z06 titanium exhaust= ok
Z06 badge= really not ok

One thing that is really frowned upon here is putting the Z06 badges on a non-Z06 car.
